Choose the right perspective
Look for people who've owned one full hiring cycle or staff scheduling cycle themselves, not just advised on it. Listen for specific friction points they encountered: backfill timelines, skill verification for assembly lines or forklift operators, retention during quiet seasons. Skip candidates who only describe what they'd do—focus on what they did and what still didn't work.
